Pros

The engineering department does everything they can to set you up for success. There are so many people that are willing to go the extra mile to help you grow and improve as an engineer.

Cons

There are some people who say that the work life balance isn't the best. I definitely agree that some of the core teams work a lot, but I think that those teams are the minority .

Thanks for writing this up--I adore our engineering team. I've never worked with leaders so committed to getting the engineering experience right and to building both a product and a team that engineers can be proud of, so I'm delighted you're feeling the impact of their hard work and the quality of your peers. Fair push on work-life balance, it's something we are constantly balancing and revisiting, so keep us honest on the feedback there, happy to hear it. Appreciate you joining our team and sharing the feedback, thanks for your thoughts and Happy Thanksgiving for you and your family! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
